  • Century cribbage board   1 day 7 hours ago

    Hi, for the life of me I can not find any info on this. We have a, "Century continuous track cribbage" (121 holes)board by ARE JAY GAME CO. INC., Cleveland Ohio Made in USA.

    JW emailed to say:

    I have recently photoed and included images of the box and rules/directions for the Are-Jay Game Co.'s Century #715 Continuous Track Cribbage 2,3,4,6 Player Board. My grandmother purchased hers at Hudson's in Detroit, Michigan, where she worked as an employee, at a marked down price of $6.00, sometime prior to 1990.

    Here is JW's photo of the board:

    He also kindly photographed the playing rules (click on the picture to see the full size version):

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   4 days 14 hours ago

    In this example, wouldn't the total pegging points be 14 since 31 was reached?

    The score wase 22. The last cards played were a 5 & 6 and that was a Go. The opponent played a 4 for 3 points, played a 3 for 4 points, then played a 2 for 5 points and reached 31 for 2 points (includes the 1 point for the Go).

  • Cribbage rules   4 days 16 hours ago

    Assuming that these were the first 3 cards played - you score "15-2" for making the running total 15, not for any combination of cards which make 15. And another 3 for the run, making 5 points total.

  • Cribbage rules   4 days 16 hours ago

    You get four points: two for the pair, and two for 31 (which includes go; clearly your opponent can't play another card without going over 31).

  • Cribbage rules   5 days 44 sec ago

    The following cards were played in order:
    4 - 6 - 5. Obviously this addes up to 15, but there is also a run here. As this happens during play, do I peg 2 points (2 for 15), 3 points (for the run), or 5 points (a total of both scores)?

    You scored correctly :)

  • Cribbage rules - the play   1 week 9 hours ago

    The play went 3, 4, 5, 6.. so there was a score of 3 and a score of 4 for runs.. a total of 18 played. Then an ace is played.. so the total is 19. No points are scored there. Then a 6 is played, total is 25 and still no other scores.. (3 4 5 6 A 6 has no more running cards past the first 6).

    Hi,

    My hand after discarding two consisted of 7,7,8,8.
    It was my crib and a 6 was cut.
    How many total points is this?
    I scored it as four runs of three for 12 + 4 points for the two pair plus 8 for the 15s' for a total of 24.

  • Cribbage rules   1 week 4 days ago

    I put down an ace and am told to go. I put down another ace for 31. Do I get four points (31 + pair) or do I get five points (31 + pair + the go)?

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   2 weeks 6 days ago

    J-Q-Q-Q-K makes three runs: J-Q-K three different ways. Each run scores three because it is a run of three, so 3 x 3 = 9.

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   3 weeks 6 hours ago

    The question came up recently about the score for a triple run. According to almost every cribbage rule book we have been able to find, it is always scored as 15 without any 15-2 counted (i.e. K, Q, Q, J with cut as Q). Why is this not scored as 3 double runs or 24 points?

    Much as I hate to disappoint you, I can not help. But if you manage to acquire one, it would be nice if you can post an image of it.

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   4 weeks 2 days ago

    Unfortunately not, the 31 for 2 includes one for last card (or 'go').

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   4 weeks 6 days ago

    If your score thirty one on the last play and had the last card as well do you get 31 for 2 and 1 for last card?

  • Palm cribbage   5 weeks 2 days ago

    I play this game on my old Palm III.

    I want to get a used Palm Pilot for my dad who loves to play.

    Does anyone know what Palms that this game will and will not work with?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   5 weeks 3 days ago

    Hi Gayle,

    Your opponent would score one point for 'last card'.

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   5 weeks 4 days ago

    I am out of cards. My opponent has two cards left. He plays and says 10, then puts down a 6 and totals 16. Does my opponent score anything for ending the play at 16. He has no cards left, and I had no cards left when he started?

    What is his score for ending the game?

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   6 weeks 2 days ago

    You score (and peg) for each card you play. So in your example you would have played the 4 and pegged 3 points for a 3-card run and one point for the go. Then you play the 3 and peg 4 points, and finally the 2 for a further 5 points. Nice play!

  • Cribbage rules - the scoring   6 weeks 2 days ago

    My husband and I play cribbage twice every day. Today we ran into a scoring dilema that we just can't figure out. The count was at 22 and the last two cards played were 5 and 6. My husband said "GO" I held a 2, 3 and 4 in my hand. I layed down the 4 which gave me a 3 point run. Now it gets tricky. I then played the 3 which I thought gave me a 4 point run, then I played the 2 for a 5 point run, then 1 point for the 'Go'. For a total pegging score of 13 points. Our question is should I have just layed down all three of my cards and taken only the 5 point run and the 'Go'? Or was I correct to play one card at a time and score they way I did? Just so you know, I would have won the game anyway as I had first count and the points in my hand would have taken me to the finish. However, we disagree on my scoring. My argument is that I can only play one card at a time. My husband believes I should have layed all three cards at once!!! Thanks for your help.

  • A question about specific hand during the count in a four player game.   6 weeks 4 days ago

    Hi Bobbie,

    Aces are always low in cribbage - see our page about Aces in Cribbage here.

  • A question about specific hand during the count in a four player game.   6 weeks 5 days ago

    Does an Ace only count low in a run or can it be used with Queen, King, Ace for a run?

    Thank you.
